I got a part in this play called life
I never even auditioned
No one asked me if I wanted the role
but its mine to make of it what I will
I just smile when they tell me to
speak the words I quietly rehearsed in my mind
laugh at the jokes that are made
and pause at the appropriate time
And as I stand here on the stage
looking out at the blank faces in the audience
I repeatedly pray for the curtain to fall
So I can be done with this wretched play called life

Now I know I’m probably supposed to tell you not to kill yourself and stuff but I really liked this.
I like the play just dont much like the role i was givin
This is good i like it!
Great analogy.
Shakespeare said it pretty good….”All the world’s a stage…” You know the rest.
my problem is that sometimes its not just an analogy and I feel out of control
Reminds me of a proverb by William Shakespear.
“All the world’s a stage, And all the men and women merely players.
I like this one by Willie…
“Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more; it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.”
@i dunno that is depressing as fuck
hey I didn’t write it! but you are right…
“To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!”
haha I know its just depressing because its kinda true
it’s VERY true, especially for me. My play has been very bad, told by an idiot, with no meaning.
Great poem.
